Heheh, it appears a majority of us are rather shy. I, ah, don't actually consider myself shy, but rather antisocial. 'Cause at the same time, I can be extremely outgoing when I'm not in school. God, school's done horrible things to me. However, I've managed to overcome it and that makes me very happy!

@Rains/Kaybee:Heehee~! <3Goodness, it really has been a long time, hasn't it? My mind is always blown whenever I realize how long I've kept some of my friends. *A*I was actually really tempted to make him uber short, but at the same time, I wanted him to be all lanky due to the serpentine shape of a glow worm's body, so yeah. <xD And yeah, that probably wouldn't hurt. The thing I like about forums, though, is that being on at the same time isn't required, and it's easy to pick back up from where you left off.

FOR THE RECORD, I currently live on the East Coast of the US. I'm actually really horrible with timezone stuff. <__>

I definitely know how you feel with the whole shyness thing. I've only just recently grown some confidence, thanks to my friends and... Tsubasacon, actually. When I attended, I completely let loose and was the happiest/friendliest I've ever been since I attended the Governor's School for the Arts in '09. For the longest time, I had this self-image that I was a heartless bitch I proved myself wrong and have been happy with myself since. It also helps that all of the douchebags from my middle school years graduated (even if I had to stay behind... stupid math credits. :/ ) so I have no one to really be afraid of.

BUT I DIGRESS!

And I can agree with the whole dark vs light backgrounds thing.I think it just depends on the level of contrast, but my eyes have already adjusted well to the layout. c:

@Ozzy:Ahh, thank you! ;v;

ALSO, if you like glowy things, I'm gonna be bringing in another character with a bioluminescent tail once I can get a decent ref pulled together of him. He's gonna be a gulper eel. c:

I'm tempted to give him glowing spots all up the side of his body, too, but I'm conflicted. I have a huge thing for sticking as close to the natural markings and colours of a species as I can with my own characters. ><

@Naomi/Llama:[GASP!!] ANOTHER DRoP FAN!! And you're also a Homestuck! *u*But man, I hardly ever meet DRoP fans. I used to be in a role-playing guild on Gaia centered around it until it fell apart. They really didn't make me feel welcomed at all, anyhow, and practically chased me off. Buh. I really hate what Gaiaonline's become, anyhow. I swear, it's filled with hostility. :an]@KuroHAWHAW, I recognize you~! : D

I don't blame ya, it's pretty hard to find decent public role-plays. At least, on the sites I frequent. Especially Gaia, uhg. Dx

That... that's so adorable. There wasn't too much variety at the con I went to. Mostly Karkats and Daves. u__u And two other Vriskas. There was a really good Feferi there, though! My brother, who was cosplaying Marshall Lee, kept hugging her any time she passed by haha!

Sadly, my friend has yet to get me the camera with the video of me battling as Vrisvris in it, butuhhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlP13ZJvlcM^ My matesprit tries to photobomb us, and my brother starts his Pokemon Journeyas well as me voice acting for my Sewaddle plush, pfff

also dudeI freakin' love Saix, that is awesome!

@Oz:

bhsfgbs Anti-Sora... *q*I actually saw an Axel at the con I went to. She was very good!

Vexen's mine. I was going to cosplay him next year, but then my cosplay group decided to change our plans to a Yu-Gi-Oh! theme. So now I'm going to be Maximilian Pegasus. And Darkrai. I also plan on being Darkrai that year. Gonna make the costume from complete scratch! Well... aside from the wig, heh.
